Hackers have managed to steal 133 million dollars from a French bank through a service provider. The banking cooperative Crédit Mutuel Arkéa was the target of a cyberattack that allowed fraudulent transactions of up to 133 million dollars, which forced the institution to suspend certain systems.
The bank reported that the attacker used its own account to initiate transactions with other financial institutions, but the customers' assets remained unaffected. Although it did not confirm the exact amount, it acknowledged that the sum was significant and that some funds were blocked.
The incident was revealed on November 4th, when the bank assured its customers that the incident is now under control and that operations are returning to normal. However, it warned about an increase in the risk of phishing and recommended that customers remain vigilant regarding unsolicited communications.
